RIGHTS.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Even at this
early day there seems to be an organized
effort on the part of the territories to unite
on a / program at the next national conven-
ton, which shall be the means of securing
better recognition from the next admins
tration than they have yet obtained in the
past. Delegate Clifford of Dakota terri
tory says: 'This country has grown SO
fast and its Industries are so diverse, |
think the time has come when the larger
territories should have a voice in national
affairs and a vote in our national legisla-
ture. Here in Washington they do not
understand the needs of our territories, and
they complicate u legislative machinery
and hamper the operation Of our laws by
appointing to judicial positions outside
men who are not familiar with territorial
legislation. We Shall make a strong fight
in the next national convention, and shall
go there organized and believe We shall
accomplish more than we have ever done
before in securing proper recognition Of
our rights by the next administration,
whether it be democratic Or republican"

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Persons who
hold close relations to the administration
are of the opinion that the letter of the
president to the secretary of the interior
in the Guilford Miller case foreshadoWs a
new departure in the administration in the
land laws, especially in regard to the in
~demnity limits, the lands within which
have been withdrawn from settlement and
held in reserve for the railroads. The rail-
roads must perfect their title or loose their
lands.
